Trump raises tariffs on Canadian goods in response to Reagan advert

US President Donald Trump has said he is increasing tariffs on goods imported from Canada after the province of Ontario aired an anti-tariff advertisement featuring former President Ronald Reagan.

In a post on social media on Saturday, Trump called the advert a "fraud" and lashed out at Canadian officials for not removing it ahead of the World Series baseball championship.

"Because of their serious misrepresentation of the facts, and hostile act, I am increasing the Tariff on Canada by 10% over and above what they are paying now," he wrote. 

Ontario Premier Doug Ford said on Friday that he would pause his province's anti-tariff advertisement campaign in the US, telling reporters that he made the decision after discussions with Prime Minister Mark Carney "so that trade talks can resume".

He also said it would still run over the weekend, including during games for the World Series, which features the Toronto Blue Jays against the Los Angeles Dodgers.

Canada is the only G7 country that has not reached a deal with the US since Trump began seeking to charge steep tariffs on goods from major trading partners.

The US has already imposed a 35% levy on all Canadian goods - though most are exempt under an existing free trade agreement. It has also slapped sector-specific levies on Canadian goods, including a 50% levy on metals and 25% on automobiles.

In his post, sent while he was traveling to Asia, Trump seemed to say he was adding 10 percentage points to those taxes.

Three-quarters of Canadian exports are sold to the US, and Ontario is home to the bulk of Canada's automobile manufacturing.

The advert, which was sponsored by the Ontario government, quotes former US President Ronald Reagan, a Republican and icon of US conservatism, saying tariffs "hurt every American".

The video takes excerpts from a 1987 national radio address that focused on foreign trade. 

After Trump on Thursday withdrew from trade talks with Canada, the Ontario premier said he would take down the advert.

Trump Discloses 'Perfect' MRI from October Walter Reed Visit

President Donald Trump revealed during a trip to Asia that he underwent an MRI scan at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center in October, calling the results 'perfect' and exceptional for his age. The White House had initially described the visit as a routine physical without mentioning the scan, leading medical experts to question its purpose as MRIs are not standard for such exams. The disclosure has intensified public and media calls for greater transparency on Trump's health, given his history of limited disclosures.

 

MRIs are not routine.

They are given when a problem is suspected or in order to rule out a condition.

Don's private health information absolutely CANNOT see the light of day. None of his ailments can be disclosed. There MUST be a plausible path to claiming his death is the fault of liberals, trannies, and antifa, even if he falls over dead into a ketchup-covered steak while sitting alone in the west wing. Comorbidities cannot enter the discussion. Even a heart attack or stroke must be without warning so it can be blamed on ANYTHING other than an obese old man's withered ticker finally giving out.

Anonymous sources (per MSNBC) claim he first identified the giraffe as Adam Schiff, but then got it right after he was allowed a redo.

Probably. Thankfully, I don't pay much attention to what ignorant racist kunts think or say. The ignore function does most of that work for me.
